The building, which will be con
structed on the northwest corner of
the park, will house the offices of the
Univerisity chancellor and his imme
diate staff.
Gen. Wesley Peel, vice chancellor
of facilities planning and construc
tion, said total cost of the new build
ing will be around $7.5 million.
“That includes all the furniture
and office equipment,” he said. “The
cost of the building alone will be
closer to $6 million, but we won’t
know an exact cost until we get all
the bids for construction.”
A preliminary design for the
building has been accepted by the
regents.
Peel said the University will open
bids for construction in February
1985 and will probably award a con
tract sometime in March.
When the building is finished,
there will be a shift similar to the
game of musical chairs.
The chancellor’s office is now in
the System Administration Building.
The staff moving with the chancellor
to the new complex includes the
deputy chancellor, the system comp
troller and the vice chancellors of
personnel and human resources and
the research park and corporate re
lations.
As soon as the chancellor’s office
is relocated, the interior of the Sys
tem Administration Building will be
renovated. Exterior renovations
have just been completed.
When all restoration to the build
ing is finished, the University presi
dent’s offices will be moved there
from the Coke Building.
The space in the Coke Building
that will be left when the president
moves will be open for other faculty
offices, Peel said.
‘Computerji’
Rajiv Gandhi
takes office
United Press International
Rajiv Gandhi was sworn in
Wednesday as India’s sixth prime
minister, catapulted by the assas
sination of his mother into an of
fice he inherited because of her
political ambition.
For 14 years, Rajiv, 40, worked
as an airline pilot, content with
his mother Indira’s decision to
groom his eager younger
brother, Sanjay, to succeed her as
leader of the world’s most pop
ulous democracy.
But Rajiv suddenly found him
self pulled by Indira Gandhi
from a quiet life with his Italian
wife Sonia and their two children
and thrust into India’s fractious
politics after Sanjay’s death in the
crash of a stunt plane in June
1980.
Rajiv quit his career with India
Airlines at her direction to run
for the parliamentary seat in the
Amethi district of Uttar Pradesh
state vacated by Sanjay and he
won a landslide victory on June
15, 1981.
Rajiv, born Aug. 20, 1944, took
to his new calling studiously,
walking through his impov
erished district to view firsthand
the grinding poverty and efforts
at development.
“I’ve never been around so
much,” he told reporters on one
of his forays. “One has got to
know the country before one can
do anything.”
Rajiv also directed his energies
into learning the power struc
tures of the ruling Congress-In-
dira Party, of which he was se
lected as a general-secretary two
years ago and expected to be
named head of within the next
few days.
Members of the political oppo
sition were angered by what they
saw as a bid by Indira Gandhi to
create a ruling dynasty. Her fa
ther, Jawahrlal Nehru, led India
after it gained independence
from Britain in 1947 and she her
self was elected prime minister —
three times.
Indira Gandhi invoked family
ties herself during Rajiv’s by-elec
tion campaign for the parlimen-
tary seat in Amethi, reportedly
telling a rally: “I am here before
you neither as the prime minister,
nor as the leader of the Congress
party, but as a mother to seek
your vote for my son.”
Rajiv and Sanjay projected vas
tly different personalities — while
Sanjay was criticized as being
heavy handed, power hungry,
and haughty, Rajiv is seen as per
sonable, easy-going, logical and
sincere. His interest in bringing
India into the modern world has
earned him the affectionate nick
name “Computerji.”
In the thousands of villages
where most of India’s 720 million
people live, the distinctions be
tween the two brothers blurred in
the peasants’ reverence for the
Gandhi name.
Rajiv’s standard campaign
speech was full of down-to-earth
practicalities about building roads
and drinking water facilities.

Weather stalls bonfire
Centerpole to go up
By Trent Leopold
Staf f Writer
The centerpole for the 75-anni
versary bonfire will be raised this af
ternoon at 4:03 on Duncan Field.
“The pole will be raised regardless
of weather conditions,” said Richard
McLeon, head civilian. “The
weather has set us back a little on this
year’s fire, but the pole goes up at
4:03 p.m.”
McLeon said the 4:03 time is in
keeping with Texas A&rM tradition.
“We say the pole will be raised at
4:03,” McLeon said. “It usually isn’t
exactly at 4:03, but will be within ten
minutes either way.”
The pole comes from Conroe
Creosote and is about 55-60 feet tall.
“Actually the pole is made from
two separate poles,” McLeon said.
“Company C-l splices the two poles
together and a ten-foot hole is dug
for it to be supported in.
“When the pole is placed in the
hole its actual height comes out to be
about 55-60 feet.”
McLeon said everyone is invited
out to the bonfire site for the event,
but cautions people to stay outside
the perimeter designated for bon
fire.
After the pole is raised, the task of
stacking logs begins, McLeon said.
“The problem we are having this
year is getting the logs from the cut
ting site in Carlos to the bonfire
on campus,” Mc Leon said. “Them
ground is making it almost imp
hie to transport wood from Carloi
McLeon said the ground is sow
they can’t even get big bulldoa
into the cutting site.
“Even our biggest bulldozers
maneuver on the wet ground,'It
Leon said. “We have managed
transport about eight loads, bui«
are behind schedule.
“Although we now liave onlyeiji
loads at the site, we have plans to ji
about 20 loads moved this wed
end.”
McLeon said the bonfire v
burn, but it will be hard work.
Bus-train collision kills at least 43
United Press International
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — A
train smashed into a bus loaded with
early morning commuters Wednes
day, killing at least 43 people and in
juring seven others, police said.
Officers said the accident at San
Justo, 13 miles west of Buenos Aires,
apparently occurred when the bus
driver tried to save time by zig-zag
ging his vehicle around lowered rail
road crossing barriers.
Fifty-one people, most of them
going to work in the city, were
aboard the bus at the time, police
said.
The speeding commuter train
rammed into the bus and shoved it
600 feet down the tracks, scattering
wreckage and bodies along the way.
Police said most of the passengers
died instantly and that those who
survived were rushed to local hospi
tals, where several more died of inju
ries.
Two bus passengers riding in the
doorway saw the train coming and
jumped to safety, according to a po
liceman who saw the accident.
Police from San Justo and nearby
La Matanza said at least 43 deaths —
all apparently passengers on the bus
— had been confirmed. It was the
most serious train-bus accident in
Argentine history.
It also was the second such acci
dent in less than a month.
On Oct. 7, ten people died and 10
others were injured when a bus
driver illegally crossed the tracks in
the path of an oncoming train in a
Buenos Aires suburb.
The state railroad company, Fer-
rocarriles Argentines, quoted wit
nesses of Wednesday’s wreck as say
ing the crossing barriers “were in
their normal lowered position" an(
that the bus driver, who died in lit
accident, drove his vehicle arouni
the gates in an attempt to beat tk
train.
Other bus drivers and a nefepi
per vendor who witnessed (beam
dent disagreed, saying ihe man
operated barriers were not lowered
before the train passed.
The barrier operator, Andresk
linas, was questioned by policealoij
with several other witnesses, indud
ing the two passengers who esca|
without injuries.
Nearly a dozen ambulances a
ried the survivors to nearby hospital
and six local fire departments sen
rescue crews to sort through the tan
gled wreckage for more than
hours.
More than 400 fires started
in Detroit; 8 firemen injured
United Press International
DETROIT — Vandals set more
than 400 fires on Devil’s Night but
city officials said Wednesday beefed-
up police and fire patrols and faster
response times helped keep damage
below last year’s record toll.
Fire Commissioner Melvin Jeffer
son said fire crews, assisted by crews
from surrounding suburbs, made
410 runs between 4 p.m. and mid
night Tuesday. Twelve people,
mostly in their teens and early 20s,
were arrested for suspected arson,
he said.
Most of the fires were set in gar
bage dumpsters, but some vacant ga
rages and homes and cars also were
torched, Jefferson said. Eight fire
fighters suffered minor injuries, he
said.
“They don’t care for other human
beings,” Johnny Thomas, who al
most lost his home when a vacant
home next door was torched, said of
the vandals. “If I had anything to do
sm all 1c
with it, I would have them all locked
up.
Devil’s Night has been a pre-Hal
loween tradition in Detroit for
nearly 40 years, but arson did not
become a major problem until 1982.
In 1983, firefighters were unable to
keep up with the rash of fires, many
set by youngsters.
“The difference (this year) is we
have things under control,” Jeffer
son said. “Our manpower has been
beefed up 33 percent.”
About 100 fires are reported in
Detroit during a normal 24-hour pe
riod, the commissioner said.
Mayor Coleman A. Young
planned a major offensive against
Devil’s Night vandalism in the wake
of a near riot after the Detroit Ti

Baboon donor comes from Texas
United Press International
SAN ANTONIO — The baboon
used in a history-making heart trans
plant at a California hospital was
born at a Texas research facility,
where officials Wednesday hailed
the future use of animal organs in
humans.
Baby Fae, the 18-day-old girl who
is now the longest living survivor of
an animal heart transplant, dis
played a hearty appetite Wednesday
six days after the operation at the
Loma Linda, Calif., University Med
ical Center.
Dr. William J. Goodwin, director
of the laboratory animal medicine
department at the Southwest Foun
dation for Biomedical Research,
confirmed that the baboon whose
heart was transplanted was raised at
the San Antonio facility.
Goodwin said it was too early to
tell how successful the California^
transplant will be, but he said the op
eration shows that animal organs can
be used in humans at least on a tem
porary basis.
“It’s obvious that you can survive
for some period of time if you don’t
have a human donor available,” he
said. “We can use a baboon heart un
til we can find one (human donor).
It may mean the difference of life.”
Goodwin said the transplant
proves the value of using baboons as
animal models for humans and that
it will lead to further research.
He said the baboon provided to
Loma Linda had no name but only a
number, and that it was 6- to 8-eight-
months old and weighed about 5
pounds, the same as the infant girl
whose own heart was malformed.
Public relations director George
Larrieu said the Texas foundation,
which raises baboons for the Na
tional Institutes for Health, has been
inundated with telephone inquii*
about its animal research prog#
